Twenty- and 30-something home buyers, who a generation ago might have moved to the suburbs, are heading to the city in such great numbers that builders say they are running out of places to build houses in Nashville's urban neighborhoods.

Belmont University graduates Sara and Kevin Warren are part of that trend. They work in Franklin but weren't interested in living so far from their friends and their favorite places in Nashville's Midtown area. They recently purchased a house under construction in Sylvan Heights, an up-and-coming neighborhood next door to Sylvan Park in West Nashville.
